In October of 2011, Tyler had a report to do on the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. His report wasn't supposed to be a formal written report but something else called a triorama. Essentially, it would be similar to a diorama but with an extra background wall. Tyler was to find something at the museum he wanted to report on and construct a replica in triorama form. In order to get a better idea of what the museum was all about, Daddy took Tyler and Connor to the museum for a look around. It was great fun touring all around the museum looking at old computers that took up the space of a huge room and classic video games that used colored blocks for graphics. In the end, Tyler loved the robot section the most. Daddy helped take pictures of the robot section and then Tyler went home to construct his triorama. The museum was so much fun, the boys said they want to go back again with the whole family.
